Brings reporting, planning, and prediction together in one seamless workflow
I think the areas of SAP Analytics Cloud that could be improved or enhanced are mentioned by users or companies, and they would definitely mention the price in terms of planning licensing. From a consulting point of view, I don't see any major weaknesses. It is reasonably well-developed, and the perfect strength is that innovations are coming on a quarterly basis. It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs. Some tools have it faster, but every increment of innovations contains new features. On the other hand, it is perfectly fitting to the SAP environment, with seamless integration to all SAP modules, not only ERP but also SuccessFactors and other tools from the SAP family, for example, integrated business planning for the production planning. This is really a highlight compared to other tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most outstanding features is being able to use the dashboard with a touch screen."
"It's so user-friendly."
"As a partner, I can mention something positive about SAP Analytics Hub: its products are tightly integrated, so the business context of data is retained in the analytics solution, and that's the main advantage."
"This is a very easy solution to learn."
"I like the predictive features of SAP. It's easy to use tools for an end-user."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It is scalable."
"The integration aspects between SAP and SAP Business Data Cloud are pretty good and seamless, with multiple ways to take the data that all work seamlessly, and taking data out to Azure Data Lake using premium outbound as a service and replication flows in Data Sphere is really seamless."
"The stability has been great."
"The features I find most valuable in Veritas Data Insight include its exceptional speed in classifying unstructured data and its user risk-scoring functionality."
"Data Insight is a good product to do everything. It is kind of transparent to administrators. It is also a very good solution with regards to GDPR compliance and regulations. Veritas is a well-established company, and it has a long legacy. Veritas solutions have expected stability and flexibility. It supports most of the flexible solutions in the market and has support for data protection, data monitoring, and things like that. In these ransomware times, it is a very important company with good solutions."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Data Insight are the ease of use, one console deployment for the administration, and backups that can be done in minutes."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Data Insight are the ease of use, one console deployment for the administration, and backups that can be done in minutes. It is a very fast solution."
"Veritas is a well-established company, and it has a long legacy; Veritas solutions have expected stability and flexibility, support most of the flexible solutions in the market, and have support for data protection, data monitoring, and things like that, so in these ransomware times, it is a very important company with good solutions."
"The solution allowed us to handle GDPR and we made sure we were ready and had storage optimization."
"I love Veritas support."
 

Cons

"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
"It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't run our business off it until it's improved."
"The scope is limited to a few accounts."
"Sometimes we have difficulty connecting to a SharePoint list."
"It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models."
"One area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is incorporating Python into the coding. That functionality is available, but it's not as efficient, and it's a bit difficult sometimes to do it, so that could be improved."
"Pricing is an area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud, apart from exporting."
"Veritas Data Insight's reporting capabilities require enhancement."
"I need more options for virtualization. I know it's good for virtualization, but another product might be easier to work with, like sending to VendCap and Restore."
"Its deployment can be a little bit complex. It should be easier to set up. The ease of use of this solution can also be improved, and it could have a cleaner, up-to-date, and intuitive GUI. There are a lot of competitors out there with much nicer GUI and easier setup. It should have a better connection with the cloud sources and much more monitoring. I would like to have a single management interface for on-premises and cloud deployments so that we don't have to switch between them. Its technical support can also be a little bit better."
"The solution is not lacking any features at this time."
"The price of Veritas Data Insight could improve, it is expensive."
"Its deployment can be a little bit complex. It should be easier to set up."
"I need more options for virtualization."
"Veritas Data Insight can improve the price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"It is not the most expensive one. You have to do the cost-of-ownership analysis and take a lot of things into consideration to come up with the conclusion that it is cheaper or not, but its price is reasonable. It provides value for money."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The product is expensive."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
"It is a bit expensive, but really worth it, especially if you are already using other SAP tools."
"It's not that costly as such for the time being."
"For Veritas Data Insight, the usage is based on a per-terabyte model. The annual cost for this usage is approximately one million dollars. It would be roughly 50,000 dollars to provide a more accurate equivalent."
"Licensing is based on the number of users or the usage in terabytes."
"It is my understanding that the license with one year of support is, per user, around 25 Euros."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The price of Veritas Data Insight could improve, it is expensive."
